Chapter 796: Chapter 239: Battle Smoke on the Steppe, A Brilliant Stratagem Splits the Land

Shi Feiyang remained calm, his gaze as piercing as the brightest star in the night sky, perceiving everything around him.

After a moment’s thought, he immediately ordered Xie Wen to go ahead and inform the tribal chief Ha-ha Map of their arrival.

Shi Feiyang leapt off his horse, his movement agile, akin to a nimble eagle.

He smiled, first introducing his wife Lin Wanqing to Princess Gugela.

Lin Wanqing was dressed in a light blue silk dress, its hem fluttering gently in the breeze like a blooming lotus.

Her face was as beautiful as a celestial immortal descending to the mortal world, her skin fairer than snow, eyes bright like stars; her every gesture exuded grace and courtesy, akin to a gentle spring breeze, soft and pleasing. At this moment, she held an infant in her arms.

The infant was delicate like carved jade, with a face rosy as a ripe apple, eyes big and round, curiously observing the world. The adorable appearance made people unable to resist trying to play with them.

Shi Feiyang then introduced Liu Guihua, who was dressed in a smart outfit, her waist accentuated by a gemstone-studded belt, highlighting her graceful figure. Although there was a hint of the Jianghu demeanor between her brows, it added a unique charm.

On her back was Little Yu Yan, sporting two playful pigtails, her eyes lively and bright, exuding a cleverness, occasionally breaking into a radiant smile, playful and cute.

Princess Gugela looked up to see Lin Wanqing and Liu Guihua, feeling a touch of melancholy in her heart.

She felt as if she had lost her color in the presence of these two beauties.

But by nature, she was optimistic. Though she felt bitter inside, she still forced a smile, stepped gracefully forward, slightly bent in salute, and said, "Long have I heard of the esteemed names of you two ladies; it is truly Gugela’s honor to meet you today." Her words captured the boldness and generosity of the prairie people.

Lin Wanqing smiled back, her eyes gentle, softly saying, "The Princess is too kind. Despite the travel fatigue, the Princess’s elegance is truly admirable." From a glance, she discerned Princess Gugela’s feelings for Shi Feiyang. Although a slight ripple crossed her heart, she remained gentle and composed.

Liu Guihua laughed heartily, stating, "Haha, I like the Princess’s character! From now on, we are like sisters!"

Her words clearly displayed that seasoned Jianghu flair.

At this moment, tribal chief Ha-ha Map strode in, towering and full of smiles, saying, "Hero Shi, I’ve long been an admirer! To have the esteemed hero visit in person today is truly a blessing for our Ordos tribe!"

Shi Feiyang clasped his hands in return, saying, "Chief Ha-ha Map, no need for such compliments. I came here for matters of the Jianghu, wishing to discuss cooperatively with the chief and contribute to peace in this world."

Ha-ha Map, ever so hospitable, promptly organized a grand feast.

At the banquet, fine wine and delicious dishes filled table after table, the aroma of wine permeating the air, mingling with the scent of mutton.

Everyone took their seats, toasting and exchanging drinks, the atmosphere seemingly harmonious and joyful.

However, after several rounds of drinks, a sudden change occurred.

Out of nowhere, a group of masked assassins dressed in black, like demons emerging from the hell abyss, surged in from all around the tent like a tide.

Each of them was agile, wielding sharp blades that shimmered with a cold gleam in the dim light, akin to the tongues of snakes, emitting a lethal aura, and their target was none other than Ha-ha Map.

Shi Feiyang reacted with incredible speed, like a crouched leopard ready to pounce, instantly springing into action.

He deployed the "Deep Concealment of Body and Name" Mysterious Lightness Technique, his figure flickering like a wisp of azure smoke, instantly flashing to the midst of the assassins, tossing Ha-ha Map skyward, shouting, "Xie Wen, protect the chief!"

Inside the tent, the atmosphere suddenly turned as tense as a drawn bow, like the calm before a storm, suffocating everyone.

The masked assassins, like a pack of ravenous wolves with bloodshot eyes, wielded an array of weapons, grimacing hideously as they rushed towards Gugela, Lin Wanqing, and Liu Guihua. In their eyes, these women seemed easier to handle, a means to swiftly achieve their goal.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang’s heart burned with anger, channeling the Bright Jade Technique.

In an instant, a sheen as smooth as jade enveloped him, his entire aura elevating dramatically, as if a war god had descended to the mortal world.

Using his palm as a blade, he executed the "Hundred Victories Saber Technique," though blade-less, his intent was omnipresent.

The blade lights shone brightly, like a silver whirlwind carrying a fierce gale, wreaking havoc among the assassins.

Each flash of blade light was accompanied by a shrill scream, as if wails from hell.

The assassins were hit one after the other, splattering blood on the spot.

For a moment, flesh and blood flew through the tent, the stench of blood thick enough to almost make one vomit.

While attacking, Shi Feiyang roared, "The way of Jianghu should start with chivalry and know when to stop. Yet you act so ruthlessly, recklessly intending to massacre innocents. Today, I shall use this blade of justice to uphold the heavenly path, making you realize the wicked will face divine retribution!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

His voice thundered like a great bell, resonating through the tent, carrying an awe-inspiring authority that chilled the soul.

Lin Wanqing observed, her demeanor composed and unperturbed.

She had always been gentle and calm, unfazed by sudden changes.

At this moment, she held the infant peacefully sleeping in her arms, a sweet smile lingering at its lips, blissfully unaware of the chaos and bloodshed unfolding outside.

In her other hand, Lin Wanqing grasped the Longevity Sword, its blade gleaming coldly, the Sword Qi coursing around it, narrating its extraordinary nature.
